Dylan covers

[razorboy]

I remember seeing the Dylan 30th Anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden. The entire show was amazing, but my favorite was seeing the O'Jays play "Emotionally Yours" with Booker T.

What is your favorite cover of a Dylan song?

I really enjoyed seeing the GD play Dylan covers.
Nowadays, I still enjoy when Ratdog plays Dylan covers.

There is an abundance of great covers on the <i>I'm Not There</i> soundtrack. Stephen Malkmus' Maggie's Farm and Jeff Tweedy's Simple Twist Of Fate are two of my favorites. Also, If Not For You way back on George Harrison's <i>All Things Must Pass</i>.

[BoondockSaint]

To paraphrase Dylan on Hendrix: "I write the songs and Jimi takes them and makes them his."

i was really disappointed with tweedy's cover, he sounded a little silly ... almost like jeff was trying to do a 'lay lady lay'-esque impression

the sonic youth cover kills

Jason and the Scorchers version of "Absolutely Sweet Marie" is by far my favorite.

Joan Baez singing 'Forever Young'

I sang this as my encore for my Senior Voice Recital at university and dedicated it to my mom.

[Hottub]

This could be a nice topic for Theme Time Radio Hour.

[TheMojoPin]

The Specials' take on "Maggie's Farm" is pretty awesome.

I love Echo & the Bunnymen's version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."

[DiabloSammich]

I rather enjoyed The Staple Singers doing Masters of War.

Jesus, nobody ever heard of The Byrds? "My Back Pages".

I'd say Byrds covers are too obvious.

My Chemical Romance has a cover of "Desolation Row" that plays at the end of Watchmen. I have too much respect for the word "crap" to apply it to this shit.

[Kublakhan61]

Television - "Knockin on Heaven's Door"

Whaaaaaaaaat???? I'll have to look out for this.

[NewYorkDragons80]

Billy Joel did "The Times They Are a Changin" on Kohuept. The energy of that particular performance in front of Russians in 87 was perfect. Unfortunately, no youtube clip.

[Kublakhan61]

Whaaaaaaaaat???? I'll have to look out for this.

Ok, nevermind. I was listening to Television on the train after reading this and realized their cover is on the, obviously passed over, live album "The Blow Up" which was on my iPod.

[El Mudo]

Love Del McCoury's version of "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
